A cutting apparatus for cutting flexible material with a first cutting unit and a second cutting unit, comprising at least one laser emitter

摘要

A cutting apparatus for cutting flexible material, comprising: - a feed line (6) for feeding a flexible material (2); - feeding means (8) for feeding each layer (9, 10, 11, 12) so that said layers are coupled together along the feeding line (6) and define said material (2); - a first cutting unit (13), arranged in the feed line (6), to carry out a first forming process on said material (2); and - a second cutting unit (14), arranged in the feed line (6) downstream of said first cutting unit (13), to carry out a second forming process on said shaped material (2); said second cutting unit (14) comprising at least one laser emitter (16) for carrying out finishing work on the material (2) formed in the first cutting unit (13); characterized in that said second cutting unit (14) comprises a laser plotter (17) or a galvanometric plotter, and that said first cutting unit (13) comprises a flat die cutter comprising at least one cutting blade (15) and driving means, so that the cutting blade (15) can be moved along a direction (Y) perpendicular to the feed direction (X) of the feed line (6) between a lowered state, in the which cuts the material (2) and a raised state to which it moves from the material (2) once the cutting procedure is completed.
